I've tried to translate a few terms and here are the results.?=I'm not 
sure how to express it,or I'm clueless.I'm hoping that it will  become a 
comprehensive "dictionary" with ALL terms,even the transparent 
ones,listed in two ways ; alphabetically and categorically .
This could help make Csound less daunting and gain more users.
Jean says I should send it to Marc,so I have.
Oy,Marc, do you have a web site or something that you might put this up 
when it's complete ?It would be nice to have it as HTML viewable pages 
and a file
for download.
